the machinery. He thinks this will
shortly be accomplished.-Rapid City

DEDlCATi.D

The dedicatory services at the new
NJ. L. church, on last Sunday. were con-
ducted i'll a manner very interesting
to those who had the pleasure of wit
Messing the ceremonies. Rev. .J.A. Dob
son gave one OF his eloquent discourses
in the forenoon, which for profoundncss
and ethical beauty has not been equal
led at Hot Springs, and for the space
of an hour, he held the audience in
wYapt attention. After the. services
the secretary of the board of directors,
rendered u statement of the expendi-
lures incurred in the erection Of the
etlitice. and also the amount necessary
10 complete the furnishing of the in
terror of the new church
Rev. Hancher, of Rapid then took
the rostrum and in his own inimitab!e
method, detailed to the audience what
WAS needed to raise the incumbrance
from the beautiful editiee aud called
npon The people to respond to the cali,
which was answered with liberali-
ty that exceeded the most sanguine ex-
jpectation. the donations amounting to
nearly $500, which clears the indebted
ness Of the church (with exception of the
amount loaned by the Church Exten.
ton Association) and enough tofur-
nish the new church with .pews and
complete the decoration Of the altar.
The conclusion of this meritorious
work is qualification to every enter
prising and morality loving citizen,
and shows determination to keep the
religious, moral and intellectual stand
ard always at the head of all improve
ments. These facts becoming patent
to our eastern cousins, will have ten
dency to dissipate the delusive impress
sion thatit is contaminating 10 associate
with the uncouth and ignorant western
element; they will find that refinement,
intelligence. as we'll as perseverance
predominant among the western people.
The Reverend gentlemen, Messrs.
Williams, Dobson and Hancher were the
officiating clergy,nen and are worthy
of high commendation for their ener.
gy, zeal and perseverance in laboring
so earnestly in behalf Of the new NJ. E.
church at Hot Springs.
The llberality of some Of the visitors
from abroad was both pleasing and sur
prising, Col. Fred Evans leading of
with that proverbial prodigality for
which he is noted. All that now re-
mains to he done is to adorn the pulpit
with an efficient minister with spirit
ual understanding and with the knowl-
edge and ability to impart it to his corr
gregation.
Last but not least Of the pleasing
episodes of the exercise, was the sweet
and solemn music rendered by the choir
so perfect in harmony that lovers Of
good music will long remember.

LETTER FROM OHIO.

URBANA, o., May 3rd, 18S7.-MR.
EDIToR.-I will enclose two dollars
to pay my subscription to Oct. 1887.
Excuse delay; it is neglect on my
part.
We have been having it cool and
dry for month past; the wheat and
grass have suffered from it, but it is
rainy to-day, which will start vegeta-
ton. / think there is enough of
wheat still alive to make good crop.
All kinds of fruits promise well.
Glover is badly frozen out; there will
be great deal of it plowed up and
put in corn /; if it is not, there will be
wilderness of ragweeds.
The people of this county are terri
bly, excited over natural gas. There
have been four wells already drilled,
and seven more getting ready to go
to work. They all have found gas,
but not in paying quantities. IF it
should prove a success Urbana will
boom. This is the time to invest in
this county, before the boom comes.
l think there is no doubt but gas and
oil will be found in paying quantities
and not only that, it is one of the
finest farming counties in the State
good roads, good society, two rail
roads close to Urbana, &c.
My best wishes for old Berkeley.

THE RIGHTS OF LABOR.

Cardinal Manning contends that
unless the rights of labor can be
denied, the liberty of organization to
protect them and the freedom found
ed upon them cannot be denied
Toward the end of the last century,
the Cardinal says, the doctrine of
political economy, under the plea OF
free contract, broke up the old rela-
lions between the employer and the
employed, and the conflict between
capital and labor then becomes per-
petual. The power of capital is all
but irresistible, for the poor must
labor for the bread of life. Hunger
lays the necessity upon them OF
laboring for the sake of their homes
and themselves. When the law
ceased to intervene, organizations
for mutual defence straightway
arose. The knights of Labor and
the British trades unions represent
the rights of labor and the rights OF
association for its defence. The
conflict between capital and labor is
most unequal. The freedom of con-
tract on which political economy
glorifies itself, hardly exists. 1t is
surely the church's Office to protect
the poor and to protect their labor,
which has built up the human COM
monwealth.

The State Senate was in executive

The State Senate was in executive
session six hours Thursday and con
firmed the four new members of the
Insane Asylum Board, namely
Captain Chipley (Dem.), DR.. Mayer
(Rep.), Jas. Bassell (Greenbacker)
and George G. Sturgiss (Rep.l The
latter was appointed in place OF
Judge Hoke, who declined the ap
pointment. The five old members
of the Board who were reappointed
namely, j. j. Davis, 9. S. Despard
w. G. Bennett, Alex. Monroe and
Capt. Neal (all Democrats) were
rejected with a dull thud. Gov
Wilson attempted decidedly toe
much when he endeavored to
vindicate DR.. Bland in the face OF
the Special Investigating Com
mittee's report. The Senate speaks
with an emphasis that cannot be
misunderstood.
April 29.-It has leaked out that
at the long executive session on
Wednesday, the special committee
appointed to consider and-report as
to the expediency of publishing the
testimony taken by the committee
which investigated the conduct OF
the State Insane Asylum, recon
mended that the evidence should
not be printed for general distribu
ton, as much of it was of a charac
ter unfit for general reading, and
calculated to do injury to the public
morals

FROM CHARLESTON.

The Republicans held IL caucus
last week, and resolved almost to a
man to vote for Republicans and
leave the Democrats settle the dis
pute among themselves. The issue
at the last election was the Repub.
lican party against j. n. Camden
and his money, and the issue hasn't
changed.
There were lengthy discussions
between the Democrats whether to
elect another U. S. Senator,-Sena.

Stunning the whole morning" There's
where the time goes.
The vote to appropriate $500 for
publishing the testimony in the In
sane Asylum investigation, stood 80
to "a in the House. 1t was referred
to the Governor. The proposition
to reduce Attorney General Watts
fee in the Chesapeake and Ohio case
from $4,000 to $500 was defeated
and he gets the full amount. This
case goes back to the troublesome
reassessment times.

ion signed by 81 Democrats, setting
forth that under HIM the Peniten.

Mr.. Murdoch, editor of the Wichita
Eagle, and native of Monongalia
County, this State, was offered
$4,000 by the Board of Trade, for
the use Of his paper for six months,
to advertise the town. How differ
ent it is in West Virginia towns,
where half the merchants do not ad.
vertise and have little or no printing
done. Yet the papers are expected
to go right along booming the
town for nothing. If some of the
business men were asked to give a
few dollars monthly for the benefit
of the town, they would open their
eyes in establishment.

KEYsER, W. VA, April 2S.-
Michael Haran, a third division
freight conductor, was instantly kill
ed here this morning. He had just
completed a trip from Grafton, and
was switching his caboose to side
track when it left the rails, and fall.
ing against the switch engine, which
was standing on another track,
crushed him in between his caboose
and the tender of the switch engine.
Mr.. Haran was one of the most pop
ular men on the division, and his
untimely death is deeply deplored.
He was 80 years of age and leaves a
wife and three children IN this city.

Collector McGraw denies that
part of the testimony given before
the Minear Investigating Committee
which related to him. He hasn't
denied that he went to Charleston
and Washington on political bust
ness with Camden. He is a polite
ian and acts with the politicians
When the offices under him were
given out he was in Martinsburg
and application was made for a
position by young Democrat, well
qualified, and highly recommended
McGraw left a reverend gentleman
under the impression (if not an out
right promise,) that the young man
was the best recommended of any
of the applicants. A stranger was
appointed. Somebody'll be heard
from some day.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

l hereby acknowledge the receipt of
$1,000 through the proper officers of
Berkeley Council No. 14S, American
Legion of Honor, upon the death of my
wife, Lucinada A. Gerhardt, second
degree member of the order. The
prompt and systematic action which, in
every instance of the kind, has character
lied the officers of both the subordinate
and supreme councils is not only COM
mendable, but calculated to inspire con-
fidence in the order. Scarcely two
weeks elapse from the death of a mem
Der to the issueing of draft which is at
once honored and accepted by our city
banks. Already in few years since
the organization of Berkeley Council of
Martinsburg. 3d. 900 has passed through
Berkeley Council by way of death bene-
fits. The order rests on firm basis and
is perfectly safe. WIN. GERHARDT.

JONES SPRINGS NEWS.

Several of the farmers are done
planting corn.
Mr.. Tusk Wilson, from the neigh
borhOod of Johnsontown has come to
Jones Springs for his health. We
think it would be benefit to some of
the city people who hunt summer re-
sorts to come to this place; there is
plenty of good cool spring water and
plenty of mountain air and is very
quiet little village.
Mr.. John Wilson lost very fine
hog Monday. 1t acted very strangely,
he could only notice that it had been
sick about ten minutes, and it would
jump straight up and squeal and lay
down and tumble around as if it was
in awful agony. It seemed to be some
strange disease.
The Good Templars of Jones
Springs are going to build hall in
the near future. That is something
that every one should lend helping
hand, for the band is small and need
and deserve help from every good
thinking, law-abiding citizen, and
they should also join the lodge and
help break down the whiskey traffic.
Look at our cities and towns to-day,
there are nearly as many whiskey
stores as there are provision stores,
and which lives the best the whiskey
seller or the provision seller, and the
only way to break it down is to club
together, for one individual can do
nothing alone. Now we hope the
fair minded people will give it a
thought if not for your own sake do it
for your children and friends sake,
for your children are looking to you
for an example.
A word omitted often shrouds a SEN
tence in mystery, or very materially
changes the sense. For example, take
the Scripture which says "Let him
that stole steal MORE" the no is omit
ted. The omission of a pause, also,
will obscure the meaning. Boys, be
a little more careful.
The weather is very pleasant and
everything looks encouraging. Mr..
Haddox is done planting corn.
M. X. Butts had a bee-swarm last
Sunday, the first we have heard of
this season.
Bark peels SO we'll that noted bark
peeler thinks if heavy thunder storm
should occur just now it would destroy
a great deal of the timber by loosen
ing the bark from the wood.
Well, we understand that the voters
of Hedgesville Dist. are called upon
by the Board of Education to say, at
the coming school election, whether
they desire to have High School es-
tablished at the village of Hedgesville
for the benefit of the entire District,
or not. We should all be informed on
this subject before the day of election,
therefore we would suggest to the
Board to have the Secretary submit
for publication to at least two of our
county papers the notice which is
required to be prepared by them in
the Oath sec. Also the advantages of
High School in our District.
The voters of this vicinity have no
war to wage against Mr.. Bowen, but
they prefer that he wait a couple of
years yet for the SUPPLEMENTARY, as
Mr.. Butts has given such general salts
faction; they all seem to think he
certainly merits a reelection.

The Frederick Agricultural Socie

The Frederick Agricultural Society
is split up by contesting factions. 1t
is one of the most prosperous County
Fair Organizations in the country. 1t
can hardly be possible that one of the
officers draws an official salary, a legal
fee and printing fee, without having
stock in the concern,-in the words of
lady of Martinsburg, noted more for
sound sense than for fashionable rep
utation, living on the vitals." The
only way for stock organizations to
succeed. is to have them conducted on
business principles, and get rid of all
preying" management.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at E. C. Will
liams Jr., & Bros Drug Store as their
giving away to their customers of so
many free trial bottles of DIR. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption. Their
trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it
always cures and never disappoints.-
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Group, and all throat and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test it before
buying by getting a trial bottle free,
